Remedies: Cases, Problems, and Strategies by Jason Bent and Marco Jimenez provides students with practical approaches to applying legal rights. 

Organized by remedial function, it threads a course long focal problem through every chapter, integrates varied hypotheticals and embedded skills exercises, and equips students with “thinking tools” to analyze why courts choose among damages, injunctions, restitution, coercion, and protection.

Professors and students will benefit from:

Functional organization by remedial purpose — mirrors real world decision making and helps students compare and justify remedial options in practice. 

Course-long focal problem — promotes iterative learning and retention while modeling how facts evolve across litigation. 

Multiple, varied hypotheticals — stress tests understanding and exposes learners to alternative remedial paths across common dispute types. 

Embedded skills training (drafting, negotiation, counseling, oral advocacy) — builds practice ready competence within the core text, not as an add on. 

“Thinking tools” boxes — move students beyond rule memorization to transferable analytic frameworks and better judgment. 

Contextual notes across private and public law systems — connect remedies to torts, contracts, property, unjust enrichment, statutory schemes, and procedure for a truly integrated view. 

Flexible sequencing for any syllabus — teach chapters in any order with cross references that keep concepts connected. 

Focus on judicial choice and rationale — encourages students to analyze not only what courts do but why they select damages, injunctions, restitution, coercion, or protection. 

Student friendly guidance — clear explanations and “what to know” signposts support efficient study and review. 

Capstone integration across the curriculum — synthesizes Contracts, Torts, Property, Constitutional Law, Civil Procedure, as well as several advanced statutory subjects into strategic remedial thinking.
